Black and Orange

The current Cuttlebug Mania challenge is 'Black and Orange' and as I'm not a Halloween person I've opted to make this note card. I've used snippets of card for my sentiment so am also popping across to the playground at Pixie's Crafty Workshop. Kath has also pointed me in the direction of the Allsorts challenge which is 'Orange/Purple/Black - all or any two' so I'm also entering that challenge (thanks Kath!).

Card blank: 6" x 6" white silkStamp: Woodware 'Going to Seed'Dies: Spellbinders Nestabilities Classic Ovals Small and Classic Scalloped Ovals SmallEmbossing: Stripe/floral embossing folder (magazine freebie), Kars tan embossing matInk: Versafine Onyx BlackCard: Orange and blackOther: Black gems, Sakura black glaze penSnippets: White and black card
I embossed the orange card, trimmed it slightly before layering it onto black card and attaching it to the card front. I used the Sakura pen to highlight the dashes on the folder and added gems to the raised dots. I die-cut and embossed a snippet of black card using the scalloped folder. I then die-cut and embossed a snippet of white card and stamped my sentiment. The sentiment was attached to the scalloped black oval and attached to my card.

Cracking design and a really great change to see these two colours not relating to Halloween, it would be perfect to enter the Allsorts challenge this week which is use orange, purple and black, all three or any two.

It's wonderful to see how elegant and sophisticated a card can be in orange and black, Kate! It's NOT just for Halloween! This brings to mind an elegant ball gown to me and what a great use of snippets! Hugs, Darnell
